PRE-ORDER About Winery Domaine Castagnier in Morey-Saint-Denis traces its lineage back to Jules Séguin in the 19th century, with the estate passing through successive generations by marriage and sons-in-law before Guy Castagnier entered in 1975. Born in Algeria, Guy married into the Vadey family—who had managed the domaine after Albert Rameau and Gilbert Vadey—and began working the vineyards, continuing the family’s Burgundian tradition. For decades, the grapes were sold to négociants, but in 2004 Guy’s son Jérôme returned from a career as a trumpeter in the Republican Guard to take over, marking the fifth generation of stewardship. Since then, the wines have been bottled under the name Domaine Castagnier, with Jérôme emphasizing biodynamic practices and terroir-driven expressions from prestigious Côte de Nuits appellations such as Clos de Vougeot, Chambertin, and Morey-Saint-Denis.

PRE-ORDER About Winery Chantereves was founded in 2010 in Savigny-lès-Beaune, Burgundy, by winemakers Tomoko Kuriyama (originally from Japan, trained in Germany) and Guillaume Bott (a Burgundian winemaker with experience at Simon Bize). The two met in 2005 during harvest at Simon Bize and later launched Chantereves as a micro-négociant project, sourcing grapes and vinifying wines with a philosophy of purity, elegance, and respect for terroir. Initially working as négociants, they gained recognition for championing varieties like Aligoté and for their meticulous, low-intervention approach. In 2020, they expanded by acquiring 4.7 hectares of vineyards in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, including parcels in Savigny-lès-Beaune, Chorey-lès-Beaune, and Fussey, which they farm organically and biodynamically. Today, Chantereves is celebrated for its vibrant, terroir-driven wines that blend Burgundian tradition with a contemporary, artisanal vision.

PRE-ORDER About Winery Château de Charodon, located just outside Beaune in Burgundy, has deep viticultural roots but an unusual trajectory. The estate ceased wine production between 1884 and 2010, despite its long family lineage and prime vineyard land. Its revival came in 2010, led by Louis Vallet, a descendant of the original family, who brought both Burgundian tradition and international winemaking experience to the project. Working alongside his brother Thibault and father Bernard (co-owner of Pierre Bourrée in Gevrey-Chambertin), Louis established Charodon as a dynamic new domaine. He began with just 1,200 bottles in 2010, expanding production more than tenfold by 2021. Farming is organic, winemaking is minimalist with indigenous yeast fermentations, and fruit is sourced through long-term contracts and select purchases. Today, Château de Charodon represents both a rebirth of historic land and a modern, energetic vision for Burgundy winemaking.

PRE-ORDER About Winery Château de Pommard, located in Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, was established in 1726 by Vivant Micault, secretary to King Louis XV. The estate is renowned for its two châteaux, extensive gardens, and the Clos Marey-Monge, a 20-hectare walled vineyard that is one of the largest monopoles in Burgundy.
